PANFRIED PEPPER RIB EYE STEAKS
 

You can never truly appreciate the marvel of this pan-fried ribeye steak until you have prepared it in your own kitchen. Pair this delightful dish with a generous serving of roasted garlic mashed potatoes and a traditional salad, and your loved one will be grateful. Prepare this steak recipe for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner at home, or for any occasion throughout the year! Just keep in mind: an overcooked steak cannot be salvaged. Lean towards rare, or utilize your meat thermometer for assistance.

What is the optimal cooking method for a ribeye steak?

You have the option to grill a steak or even air fry one. However, I believe that a skillet-fried steak is exceptionally delicious. Cooking a ribeye in a pan on the stove allows for an excellent sear all around. Additionally, due to the generous seasoning and the use of butter, the meat becomes incredibly flavorful. Speaking of butter, you can drizzle some of that rich, tasty leftover butter over your steak and mashed potatoes. This is something you miss out on with a grilled steak!

Should I use oil or butter to cook a ribeye?

I prefer to use a combination of both. The oil has a higher smoke point, which means it won't burn when you increase the heat. On the other hand, butter imparts wonderful flavor. Using both slightly reduces the smoke factor while providing a pleasant sizzle that helps the fat on the exterior of the steak to crisp up.

Reasons for the Popularity of This Marinade

It allows the steak to shine! This is NOT one of those marinades that conceals the steak; rather, it enhances its natural qualities. The ideal combination of spices, herbs, and acidity elevates the inherent flavor of the meat!

Required Ingredients

Soy-Free Option: Replace soy sauce with coconut aminos for a soy-free alternative.
Lemon Juice Alternatives: If you do not have lemon juice, you may substitute it with lime or orange juice, or a few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar, or even a tablespoon of whole grain or Dijon mustard for an added kick.
Italian Seasoning: If you are not particularly fond of Italian seasoning, you can reduce it to 1 tablespoon or opt for a different seasoning blend. Cajun, chipotle, and southwest flavors would all work wonderfully!

Steak Inquiries? I Am Here to Assist (Frequently Asked Questions)
How can you ensure a steak is tender? 
I incorporate lemon juice into my marinade to help break down tough fibers and soften the steak. For particularly tough cuts, I also pound the meat prior to cooking.
What causes my steak to be tough and chewy? 
This typically indicates that the fibers did not break down sufficiently. Tender cuts require quick, high heat, while tougher cuts benefit from slow cooking with moisture to maintain tenderness.
What is the recommended marinating time for steak? 
A minimum of 2 hours is advisable, although marinating overnight yields even better flavor and tenderness. However, do not marinate the steaks for more than 24 hours, as the lemon juice will begin to break down the steak, resulting in a tough and mushy texture.

Preparing and Storing Leftover Steak Marinade
Preparation: The marinade can be prepared 2-3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Allow it to sit at room temperature for one to two hours before adding the steak to ensure the olive oil is not solidified.
Unused Marinade: *It is imperative to never reuse a marinade that has been in contact with raw meat! If you desire additional marinade for basting or creating a sauce, reserve some before introducing the raw steaks.
Additional Information
Servings: This recipe yields approximately 1 ⅔ cups of marinade, sufficient for marinating up to 4 pounds of steak.
Cooking Steaks in a Skillet: Preheat the skillet on high heat before placing the steaks inside. Add the marinated steaks and cook each side for 3 minutes or until a brown crust forms on the exterior. Lower the heat to medium-high and cook the steaks to your preferred doneness. My steaks required about 10 minutes, flipping three times to achieve a medium-well finish. Optionally, top the steaks with salted butter and garnish with fresh parsley.
